Thank you. From the high desert and the great American southwest, I bid you all.

Good evening, good morning, good afternoon, wherever you may be across all 24 times.

I'm covered by this globe.

I'm Mark Bell.

And this is coast-to-coast AM a am well i've got so much to tell you about uh there's so much

to get to here that uh i'm not sure where to start last night ha ha obviously we weren't here

and we had a repeat why i'm going to tell you why uh the night before

we had uh dr edward uh tenor as a guest and he wrote a book called why things bite back

technology and the uh revenge of unintended consequences which is an incredible topic.

Now, it's almost too much for even me, and I deal with this kind of stuff all the time.

Here's the best non-technical explanation I can give you, all right?

Here's what happened on that night.

Dr. Tenner's telephone lines were not tenable.

Sorry, Dr. Tenner.

They were not tenable.

They kept fading into nothingness, and we had some bizarre noise, high-frequency-type noise on the the phone lines that was getting worse and worse and worse and

noisier and noisier and noisier.

And it did throughout the night.

Now, there are two things.

Of course, we terminated the interview with Dr. Tenor, if not being tenable, and we'll have to reschedule that.

But here we are talking about this topic.

And a careful investigation, technical investigation with telephone company involved.
